From Near Zero to Data Hero – The Evolution of Property Data in Suffolk County

Real estate professionals know that having property data and being able to utilize it to its best possible use gives them a competitive edge. Today, we released a new build of GeoData that was aimed at giving our Suffolk County users the best possible experience.

A Bit of Suffolk County History

For over 17 years, GeoData Plus has been working with the goal of making property data easier to access, analyze and interpret. Of all the areas in New York and New Jersey that GeoData makes available to its customers, there is no county like Suffolk County NY when it comes to seeing how things have changed.

In 2002, the idea of getting basic information such as square footage of a home in Suffolk County was practically unheard of. Outside of one or two enterprising townships that were ahead of their time, this type of information was either a closely guarded secret, or simply unavailable with the exception of a trip to town hall (assuming it’s available there).

GeoData’s Suffolk County Data Today

Of the 420,000 or so single family homes in Suffolk County, GeoData has building characteristic details on nearly 70% of them; square footage, year built, room count, and/or style are fields now readily available in GeoData. In fact, GeoData Plus is one of the few companies that has this type of information available in townships such as Brookhaven, Babylon, and Islip.

Other information, such as sales history, mortgage records, lis pendens, telephone numbers, for sale and for rent listings may or may not be available in other sources, but what makes GeoData special is that all of this information is in one place.

Enhanced Comparable Search
